Serebii.net Black & White Discovery Thread

Posting this now in order for me not to be rushed when the coverage does begin later this week.

This thread will be where myself or other members of the staff will post our discoveries within the game. We have a good team once more so should be able to ace everything again

I'll keep you posted on all the discoveries we make, minor and major and I'll be constantly updating this thread and the site (and quite possibly my Twitter, depends if I can be bothered). However, like the past discovery threads, this thread is just for us posting so please use the following discussion thread; http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=466227

I hope you enjoy our complete coverage. With DP, Plat and HGSS, we were the fastest and most thorough on the entire Internet and I am not about to let that change at all

You can't trade until you've obtained the C-Gear, and that's after beating the first Gym. As stated previously, you'll face the waiter that has the elemental monkey that has a type advantage against you.

Yet, the game lets you win easily. At the entrance of the Abandoned Land of Dreams, a girl will give you the monkey that has a type advantage against the Gymleader's.

Kanako Town
- get Starter and battle your rivals
- get Pokedex from Aaragi
- venture out to Route 1

Karakusa Town
- let Aaragi show you the PokemonCenter
- see Team Plasma speak, and fight N
- head up to Route 2, battle Belle again

Sanyou City
- battle Cheren in Pokemon School
- beat the Sanyou Gym (you can get the type advantage monkey on the Abandoned Land of Dreams on the right first)
- after you beat the Gym, Makomo will tell you about the dreamworld and the C-gear. She gives you HM01 and you can cut the tree blocking the entrance of the Abandoned Land of Dreams now
- rescue Munna from the TP grunts. Musharna appears and they leave behind the Dream Smoke for Makomo
- C-gear activated back at Makomo's place
- head out to Route 3

Shippou City
- not much here actually, just head to the Museum, the Gym is inside. You'll need to get through a little quiz in the library first though... kinda hard if you don't read Japanese becoz of the sequence you access the shelves
- when you solve the quest a doorway appears and you go down to challenge Aloe the Gymleader
- Team Plasma steals the head of the dragon fossil, Arty of Hiun Gym visits, and together with Aloe, Cheren and Belle, you go after Team Plasma in teams
- head to the Yaguruma Forest to find Team Plasma

That's how far I am now.
Tabunne shares certain traits of Chansey that it is actually on every route in Isshu. It just has a very very low chance of appearing. While walking, sometimes one patch of grass will be shaking (like the Pokeradar back in DPPt), you have higher chances of running in Tabunne in that patch when it appears. I just found one inside the Yaguruma Forest. Not sure about its catch rate but it didn't run away and I caught it in one Pokeball.

Not much of a showdown with Team Plasma. Just face a series of grunts and after you beat the last one, he returns the fossil to you. One of the 7 sages of Team Plasma appears though, named Asura.

Arrived in Hiun City now. Kinda hard to navigate around in the city with all the angling. The Sky Arrow Bridge is basically just for visual effect from what I see. No battles take place on it, you just watch the scenery pass by as you walk by.

Got on Liberty Island, just some Team Plasma grunts again guarding the way to Victini. It says a rich merchant built this big mansion to hide Victini many years ago to protect it. It's at level 15, knows Confusion, Burn-out, Endure and Quick Attack.

Again, as mentioned before, in the Abandoned Lot of Dreams, you face two Plasma Grunts. One with Minezumi, the other with Choroneko. Once you've beaten them, you have the Dream Smoke and get the C Gear
